We had a wonderful time at the Carefree Crest! Beautiful views, quiet location, comfortable home all made for a wonderful vacation. The management company was very responsive and a pleasure to work with; we would definitely stay here again if we are ever in this area.
Great house for a family gathering. Very responsive management group. The two Casitas were basic but the main house was upscale and very comfortable with all the amenities.
It was my husband's birthday and we had 3 other couples join for a weekend of mountain bike riding, dining, celebrating and just fun and relaxation. This property was close to everything and perfect for the celebration.
This property is exactly what we were looking for for our family of eight. The hosts were very responsive and helpful if we had any questions. The pool temperature was heated to the perfect temperature for November. Safe and quiet neighborhood
House was great. Needs a little updating but we loved having the casitas by the pool so everyone could spread out. Wonderful sunset views! jets in tub didn’t work though and handles needed attention as they were lose. They needed to provide a high chair and not charge for one since this was an expensive property. All in all we had a wonderful time.
Great spot for multiple couples to stay. Nice to have spacious common areas but also have privacy with separation of bedrooms and casitas. Some of the house can use some updates. Needs new furniture around the pool.
The property does have jaw dropping views and has a lot of potential. The actual property management was not what we expected at the price point. There was minimal supplies (ie toilet paper, paper towel...), the kitchen sink tap was broken as was the sink by the bbq. The doors were very finicky to close and lock. The Casitas were very basic, and the beds had very sub par pillows, all of our guests complained of sore necks. The furniture was showing wear and tear and staining. And the pool was 150 a day to heat and extra 1000 for the week. If you are just looking for a lot of bedrooms for a group to stay this would likely work, but if you are looking for an upscale home to enjoy time all together there are just enough irritating upgrades that need to be done. The property could definitely use some attention and it has potential to be a 5 star stay. Just not what we expected and had some clear disappointments in the stay.
The main home is beautiful and the two casitas are very nice. The house was very clean. The host was very accessible and responsive. A very good experience all around.
Lots of space for large family. Beautiful pool. Could have been cleaner when we arrived. Otherwise, great home, BEAUTIFUL views and close to downtown Carefree
The house was amazing. The pool and the view was amazing. It's a very quiet location very private. Lots of restaurants and shops a short drive away. I would highly recommend the house
This property is amazing. Very clean stunning setting and wonderful pool. The pool is over 8 feet deep so it’s nice and cool on those hot summer days. We actually chose to heat it up a little bit in the middle of summer. It was just my wife and I but there’s sample room for a family of six or eight with the Casitas that are on property.More than a five star experience!
Truly a wonderful home and experience. I only wish we had stayed longer. The views especially at sunset were amazing and the interior exceeded expectations. While it was only two of us, we certainly could and will think about bringing friends next time.
Wonderful home with all the amenities. We had 10 people and everyone had their own space from sleeping to bathrooms! Plenty of space to gather at mealtimes too! Our only suggestions would be non-stick cookware, more kitchen towels and black out shades in the bedrooms. The water pressure is still not great when someone is doing the dishes or two people are showering at the same time, but it all worked out fine! Cave Creek is a really fun little town! We will definitely stay again!
